Is Gov. Perry aware that being civil and decent to President Obama is a no no amongst republican and t partiers?

I am going to refrain from criticism. I welcome civil discourse. It is badly needed in this divided country of ours. Watching C-Span when I got home from my evening with friends, I saw that Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) promptly offered the subsequent criticisms of President Obama. Whatever. Kind of sad.
Like a sucker punch to the gut, as they say at my gym....but Gov Perry seemed receptive. Likely it is difficult to deal with. Part of me felt the pain of being a border state.
Can we work on being less divisive? How about it, Pete Sessions. You are extremely divisive. You should work on that, and it would be great if we could come together on this issue. Thanks...

Rick Perry knows full well his 'economic miracle' is largely due to the presence of illegal immigrants.
